C. Rebuilding an Array Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding applies only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 arrays. The procedures below assume a new drive is added to replace a failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array. (Note: The new drive must have equal or greater capacity than the old one.) For the Intel X79: Turn off your computer and replace the failed hard drive with a new one. Restart your computer. •• Enabling Automatic Rebuild Step 1: When the message "Press to enter Configuration Utility" appears, press + to enter the RAID Configuration Utility.

C. Rebuilding an Array
Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding applies
only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 arrays. The procedures below assume a
new drive is added to replace a failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array. (Note: The new drive must have equal
or greater capacity than the old one.)
For the Intel X79:
Turn off your computer and replace the failed hard drive with a new one. Restart your computer.
Enabling Automatic Rebuild
•
Step 1:
When the message "Press <Ctrl-I> to enter Configuration Utility" appears, press <Ctrl> + <I> to enter the
RAID Configuration Utility. The following screen appears after you enter the RAID Configuration Utility.
Step 2:
Select the new hard drive to add into the array to be rebuilt and press <Enter>. The following screen appears,
indicating that an automatic rebuild will be performed after you enter the operating system. You can access
I
ntel Rapid Storage Technology enterprise
from
All Programs
in the
Start
menu. You will see that the
status of the array displays as
Rebuilding
. If you do not enable automatic rebuild on this stage, you have to
manually rebuild the array in the operating system (see the next page for more details).
